<p></p>
<p>CINCINNATI — Domata Peko leveled Kansas City’s Alex Smith, popped up to his feet and started dancing. The tackle rubbed both hands across his belly while gyrating his wide hips.</p>
<p>He hadn’t done that one before.</p>
<p>“The belly dance?” Peko said. “I’m hungry. Just a big man moving around.”</p>
<p>Peko got to do an encore during the Cincinnati Bengals’ 36-21 win on Sunday, finishing with two of their five sacks. It was big stuff in a lot of ways for the Bengals (4-0), who are one of the NFL’s six unbeaten teams.</p><p><a href="http://lubbockonline.com/sports/2015-10-06/bengals-defensive-line-back-getting-sacks-and-dancing" target="_blank">read more</a></p>http://lubbockonline.com/sports/2015-10-06/bengals-defensive-line-back-getting-sacks-and-dancing#commentsSportsJOE KAYAlex SmithAmerican footballBALTIMORECarlos DunlapCarlos DunlapCincinnatiCincinnati BengalsCincinnati Bengals seasonDenverDomata PekoDomata PekoFootballGeno AtkinsGeno AtkinsKANSAS CITYMichael JohnsonNational Football LeaguePaul GuentherPerson CareerquarterbackQuotationtackleTampathe NFLTue, 06 Oct 2015 05:23:46 +0000JOE KAY233962 at http://lubbockonline.comSambrailo's sore shoulder forces Broncos O-line shakeuphttp://lubbockonline.com/sports/2015-10-03/sambrailos-sore-shoulder-forces-broncos-o-line-shakeup
<p>ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — The Denver Broncos will try to fix an ailing ground game and 30th-ranked offense behind a shuffled O-line this weekend.</p>
<p>With rookie Ty Sambrailo’s injured left shoulder keeping him out of practice all week, coach Gary Kubiak ruled him out against Minnesota this weekend. He moved Ryan Harris over to left tackle and inserted second-year pro Michael Schofield into the lineup at right tackle, where he’ll make his first career start Sunday.</p>
<p>“I’m definitely excited to get out there finally,” Schofield said.</p><p><a href="http://lubbockonline.com/sports/2015-10-03/sambrailos-sore-shoulder-forces-broncos-o-line-shakeup" target="_blank">read more</a></p>http://lubbockonline.com/sports/2015-10-03/sambrailos-sore-shoulder-forces-broncos-o-line-shakeup#commentsSportsARNIE STAPLETONcoachColoradoDenver BroncosDenver BroncosEnglewoodGary KubiakGary Kubiakleft tackleMichael SchofieldMinnesotaNational Football LeagueNational Football LeagueNext MagazinePerson CareerPeyton ManningQuotationRyan HarrisRyan HarrisSuntacklethe NFLTyler PolumbusSat, 03 Oct 2015 05:30:46 +0000ARNIE STAPLETON233706 at http://lubbockonline.comU.N.

<p></p>
<p>UNITED NATIONS — With the bang of a gavel, international leaders approved an ambitious 15-year plan Friday to tackle the world’s biggest problems, from eradicating poverty to preserving the planet to reducing inequality. Now comes the tough part: Drumming up support and money to achieve the goals and transform the world.</p>
<p>Pope Francis gave his backing to the new development agenda in an address to the U.N. General Assembly before the summit to adopt the 17-point plan opened, calling it “an important sign of hope” at a very troubled time in the Middle East and Africa.</p><p><a href="http://lubbockonline.com/world/2015-09-26/un-oks-blueprint-end-poverty" target="_blank">read more</a></p>http://lubbockonline.com/world/2015-09-26/un-oks-blueprint-end-poverty#commentsWorldEDITH M.

<p>BRUSSELS (AP) — European Union leaders, faced with a staggering migration crisis and deep divisions over how to tackle it, managed to agree early Thursday to send 1 billion euros ($1.1 billion) to international agencies helping refugees at camps near their home countries</p>
<p>The leaders also agreed to set up “hot spots” by the end of November where EU experts can quickly register and identify people eligible for refugee protection, said European Council President Donald Tusk, who chaired an emergency EU summit in Brussels.</p><p><a href="http://lubbockonline.com/world/2015-09-24/eu-agrees-more-money-agencies-help-refugees" target="_blank">read more</a></p>http://lubbockonline.com/world/2015-09-24/eu-agrees-more-money-agencies-help-refugees#commentsWorldBrusselsDemographyDonald TuskDonald TuskEUREuropeEuropean CouncilEuropean UnionEuropean UnionForced migrationFrancois HollandeHuman migrationLubbock Avalanche-JournalPerson CareerPolitical philosophyPopulationpresidentQuotationRefugeeRight of asylumSociologytackleTurkeyUSDThu, 24 Sep 2015 05:15:12 +0000Staff232722 at http://lubbockonline.comFournette powers LSU past Auburnhttp://lubbockonline.com/sports/2015-09-20/fournette-powers-lsu-past-auburn
<p></p>
<p>BATON ROUGE, La. — The jarring impact of LSU running back Leonard Fournette’s shoulder with crumpling Auburn defensive back Blake Countess blew the top off of sold-out Tiger Stadium — and more than likely resonated with Heisman Trophy voters.</p>
<p>And if that 40-yard touchdown run wasn’t eye-catching enough, Fournette added a 29-yard score in which safety Tray Matthews tried to tackle the running back high, only to be sent tumbling, heels-over-head, toward the sideline.</p><p><a href="http://lubbockonline.com/sports/2015-09-20/fournette-powers-lsu-past-auburn" target="_blank">read more</a></p>http://lubbockonline.com/sports/2015-09-20/fournette-powers-lsu-past-auburn#commentsSportsBRETT MARTELAlley BroussardAmerican footballAuburn–LSU football rivalryBlake CountessBrandon HarriscoachCollege footballdefensive backGus MalzahnGus MalzahnHuman InterestHuman InterestJeremy JohnsonLeonard FournetteLes MilesLSU Tigers footballLSU Tigers football teamMississippiNick RuffinPerson CareerQuotationrunning backtackleTiger StadiumTray MatthewsSun, 20 Sep 2015 05:20:54 +0000BRETT MARTEL232360 at http://lubbockonline.comDual-threat QBs to lead Westerners, Montereyhttp://lubbockonline.com/filed-online/2015-09-17/dual-threat-qbs-lead-westerners-monterey

<p>HOUSTON — J.J. Watt is looking forward to Sunday’s opener against the Kansas City Chiefs.</p>
<p>Because he just can’t wait to tackle somebody again.</p>
<p>“That would be the understatement of the century,” Houston’s star defensive end said. “I explained it the other day it’s like an animal in a cage.</p>
<p>“You rattle the cage and hope they unlock it, maybe the lock falls off, you hope somehow you’re going to get out of the cage, and I think on Sunday they’re finally going to open up the cage for me and I can’t wait.

<p>BRUSSELS — The European Union implored its member countries Wednesday to better share the burden of refugees flooding the continent, but the numbers involved were small compared with the half million who have already arrived and the hundreds of thousands more on their way.</p>
<p>With Syrians, Eritreans and Afghans often hoping to settle in wealthy nations like Germany and Sweden, the EU is struggling to find a more equitable solution that would also send a fair share of refugees to less-desirable and less-welcoming places such as Slovakia and the Baltics.</p><p><a href="http://lubbockonline.com/world/2015-09-10/battle-shaping-european-union-over-migrant-quotas" target="_blank">read more</a></p>http://lubbockonline.com/world/2015-09-10/battle-shaping-european-union-over-migrant-quotas#commentsWorldBY LORNE COOKBaltic statesBalticsBrusselsCzech RepublicDavid CameronDemographyDenmarkEuropeEuropean ParliamentEuropean UnionEuropean UnionexecutiveForced migrationFranceGermanyGreeceHuman geographyHungaryIraqi diaspora in EuropeIrelandItalyJean-Claude JunckerJordanLebanonLibyaLondonNatural DisasterPerson CareerPolitical philosophyPopulationpresidentPrime MinisterQuotationRefugeeRight of asylumSociologyStrasbourgSwedenSyriatackleUnited KingdomThu, 10 Sep 2015 05:06:02 +0000BY LORNE COOK231173 at http://lubbockonline.comCowboys add QB Showers to practice squad, claim tackle Mills http://lubbockonline.com/filed-online/2015-09-09/cowboys-add-qb-showers-practice-squad-claim-tackle-mills
<p>IRVING, Texas (AP) — The Cowboys have added undrafted rookie quarterback Jameill Showers to their practice squad and claimed tackle Jordan Mills after he was waived by Chicago.</p>
<p>Dallas made room for Mills on Monday by waiving linebacker Jasper Brinkley, one of the offseason additions after the free agent departures of Justin Durant and Bruce Carter. Mills could be the swing tackle after starting 29 games the past two seasons for the Bears, who drafted him in the fifth round in 2013.</p><p><a href="http://lubbockonline.com/filed-online/2015-09-09/cowboys-add-qb-showers-practice-squad-claim-tackle-mills" target="_blank">read more</a></p>http://lubbockonline.com/filed-online/2015-09-09/cowboys-add-qb-showers-practice-squad-claim-tackle-mills#commentsFiled onlineBruce CarterBusinessBusinessChicagoDallasIrvingJameill ShowersJasper BrinkleyJasper BrinkleyJordan MillsJustin DurantLinebackerLubbock Avalanche-JournalNational Football LeaguePerson CareerquarterbacktackleTexasWed, 09 Sep 2015 12:39:33 +0000Staff231106 at http://lubbockonline.comSavage placed on IR as Texans get to 53 http://lubbockonline.com/sports/2015-09-06/savage-placed-ir-texans-get-53
<p>HOUSTON — The Houston Texans placed third-string quarterback Tom Savage on injured reserve and released 14 players on the deadline to trim their roster to the NFL’s 53-man limit.</p>

<p></p>
<p>ARLINGTON — Ben Malena ran 5 yards for the go-ahead touchdown late in the fourth quarter and the Dallas Cowboys avoided their second straight winless exhibition season with a 21-14 victory Thursday night over Houston.</p>
<p>Texans third-string quarterback Tom Savage hurt his shoulder on the previous series, so backup Ryan Mallett was forced into the game. He handed off twice to third-string back Kenny Hilliard. But then the Texans tried to throw twice with Mallett, a pair of incompletions, and Dallas ran out the clock.</p><p><a href="http://lubbockonline.com/filed-online/2015-09-03/cowboys-top-texans-late-score-21-14-preseason-finale" target="_blank">read more</a></p>http://lubbockonline.com/filed-online/2015-09-03/cowboys-top-texans-late-score-21-14-preseason-finale#commentsFiled onlineSportsSCHUYLER DIXONArlingtonBen MalenaCorey WhiteDallasDallas CowboysHoustonHouston Texans seasonKenny HilliardNational Football LeagueNew York Giants seasonPerson CareerquarterbackRyan MalletttackleTom SavageFri, 04 Sep 2015 04:47:09 +0000SCHUYLER DIXON230579 at http://lubbockonline.comWills of millions of Americans now available onlinehttp://lubbockonline.com/national-news/2015-09-03/wills-millions-americans-now-available-online

<p>But positions on the rest of the line appear to up for grabs less than two weeks away from Wisconsin’s challenging opener against Alabama in Arlington, Texas on Sept. 5.
